Are you serious?

　Having succeeded in talking to Milene-sama, I asked her for the right to command. Of course, Milene-sama's expression is dismayed.

　Sixteen - no, it's insane to make a little boy of seventeen a commander-in-chief, and there's no point in being suspicious of me asking for such a thing.

''I'm serious. I want command authority. Could you please?''

　Lady Milene shows a different face than before. Her calm face seems to have lost its previous kindness.

''Your credibility, and track record, is far too lacking. If I recommend you, you will question my sanity.''

We're going to win. You can't win this thing. If you don't like it, I'll just run.

　With her face downcast, Milaine-sama muttered, "So this is another bill we've been paying for.

''Your Majesty and the others plan to charge into the duchy to take out the user of the magic flute who summoned the super size to take out the user of the magic flute.

That won't even get us close. It's useless because it will destroy us all.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. That's what people are like. No one is going to follow you as commander-in-chief.

　It was somewhat of a thorn in His Majesty's side, but let's not worry about it and continue the negotiations. I've noticed that Milaine-sama has a high opinion of me in her mind.

''We can't win if we leave it to someone else. We need a royal ship. That thing, it has special powers, doesn't it?

　How do I know that?　I cornered Milaine-sama with such a look on her face against the wall and I put my hand on the wall.

''Ha!　Oh, do you know what kind of ship that is?　It's--

The driving force behind the building of the kingdom. The trump card of the royal family... right?

Yes, it is. It's not something you can just lend out. It's a lost and found item.

　It's a different kind of lost item than Luxion, but I really need it.

　I'm close to Milaine-sama.

''Please let me borrow it. I need it.''

'But it won't move. Your Majesty and I couldn't move it.

'I will use His Highness Julius and Marie. Gather the other four.

But the saint--Marie is awaiting her execution.

　We desperately need Marie.

　Marier's death doesn't necessarily mean that Libya will be recognized as a saint right away. It's because the temple might make a big deal out of it again. Then we need to make sure of it.

　It's Marie and the others who will move the airship and demonstrate the power of the saints.

　All we have to do is get Libya on board afterwards.

'Luxion, explain to the Queen.

"Yes.

　Looking at the Luxion that appeared, Lady Milene said, "Is this--the messenger from the report? He looked at Luxion in amazement.

　Then the Queen despairs when she hears that a super-sized one is moving from the sky and the sea to sandwich the earth between them.

'Is it true?'

''It's true. At the same time, the communication situation has deteriorated considerably since the two bodies appeared. I think we should consider our communications almost useless once we get close to the enemy.

　The queen held her face in her left hand.

''The more you ask, the more troublesome it is. .........Leon-kun, can you win?

We will win. To do that, I want you to be prepared.

A saint and a royal ship. Okay, so you want the position of Commander-in-Chief.

　Lady Milene tightens her face and looks me in the eye.

''If I tell you that I'm making you commander-in-chief, there will be those who will rebel. They are from the princely faction. We'll have to hold them back. And there won't be many knights and soldiers who will cooperate with you. We won't be able to gather any forces.

　I looked at Luxion and he nodded with one eye.

'No problem.'

...quite deservedly, but I wish other knights had your kind of loyalty.

　Loyalty?　I have very little.

'Is my loyalty high?　And what do you mean by "deserved"?

'This is the current situation that has burdened some men. I will tell you when you come back safely. You will come back victorious. Is that clear?

　I nodded, and Lady Milene blushed and gave a cute cough.

''Well, then, it would be nice if you would step away.

　Oops, that was it. When I keep my distance, Milaine-sama takes a deep breath and then looks at me.

''I owe Rion-kun a lot of money, you know. I will proceed to lay the groundwork. But we really don't have many allies.''

You'll be fine. We'll be ready for the fight.

　No problem.

　Now is the time to use the power of the bond.

◇

　The royal capital was in turmoil.

　Among those who were trying to escape were the nobles.

　Sadly, there are many nobles and knights who abandoned their duties and ran away with their mistresses, as if they could not fight for such a kingdom.

　 Just because I know the reason, I have an inexplicably complicated feeling.

　When I came to the school from the royal palace, I couldn't believe my eyes at the unusual situation.

''Well, wait. You have to take me with you!''

　It was the heiress of the frontier baronial family who roughly shook off the squirming girls.

''Don't rely on me now. You have a habit of ignoring me so often.''

　A boy leaves the academy.

　On the other side, a rich viscount who lived in the royal capital was hanging on to the girls.

''You're abandoning me!　I gave you all that money!

"This is where you stay, you'll die!　Without King's Landing, you are worthless!

　It's as if my position is reversed.

　It's not a pleasant sight.

　Luxion leads me in.

"Master, this way. Everyone seems to be gathered here to discuss something.

Well done!　Luxion, you head towards Libya and Angers. Save them both at all costs!　Also, if you know anyone, give them a shout.

''That's fine, but is it safe for the master to be on his own?''

　It's okay.

　Because me and everyone else's friendship with Daniel and Raymond and the others is real!

Don't worry. They'll be here for you.

◇

No, you can't.
Yeah, I can't.

　The frontier baronial family - that place where everyone close to me and my position gathered was the school's meeting room.

　It seems that they were all hiding together, as if to escape from the girls who suddenly returned their palms.

　They were coming to pick me up from my parents' house, and they seemed to be killing time until then.

　When I offered to help them, they refused to cooperate, mouthing 'no' or 'can't' like Daniel and Raymond.

Why!

The Royal Army is almost completely destroyed. I don't see how nearly two hundred airships can fight a crippled monster.

　Raymond's calm judgment was not wrong.

'Why don't you give up too, Leon?　Didn't you get falsely accused?　He doesn't need to work that hard. And if the kingdom loses, we can just follow the duchy.

　Daniel is not willing to do it either.

　The lords with floating islands in their fiefdoms are just following a strong nation.

　If the kingdom loses, they look for the next subordinate.

　That's all the reactions around them.

''That's true. Oh, you know what I mean?　I've heard that a principality is a stronger position for a man than for a man. Marriage is more like a woman in a hurry.
'Really?　I pledge allegiance to my duchy!
Me too!

　

　No, I don't either!

　Everyone was killing time while playing cards. After all, once they were back in their own territory, they would be safe. The continent may sink, but the floating island, floating independently, would be safe.

　We might fight the duchy afterwards, but we really don't want to fight for the kingdom.

　In fact, the nobles and knights in the royal capital have fled, and the lord nobles are reluctant to give reinforcements.

　So this is the price the queen has been paying.

　I took a deep breath.

　The inside of the conference room smells like a bastard.

　I pull a document out of my pocket.

"Boys, look at this.

　Raymond read the document with his glasses.

'This is a contract for the sale of an airship. What's wrong with this?

"You've already received the airship. Is it time to educate the crew?

　Daniel nodded.

'Yeah. You were pleased with how easy it was to handle and how awesome it performed.

　Everyone was overjoyed to have acquired a fine warship, but Raymond was the only one who was pale.

'Leon, this is--'

'Yes. The airships you have can only be serviced at the factory in my father's estate. Do you want to take it to another factory to try it out?　You can't have perfect maintenance. It's full of new technology and if you don't maintain it, it will eventually stop working.

　The contract says that they have to leave maintenance to our factory because of the new technology.

　These are the guys who gave away the used airship they had and bought it from me.

　If the airships we have now stop working, we won't be able to do anything.

"I'm going to fight the Duchy. And when you do?　The duchy could overrun my fiefdom and my father's fiefdom. Do you think they'll shut down the factory, too?　Besides, I fought the Duchy once, and I'm sure they hate me. You guys, they're going to think you have a connection with me like that. No, I'd rather show off my ties to you guys!

　All of them are shouting abuse at me.

'You're dirty!'
Hey, hold Leon here and stick him out to Mr. Hertrude!
He's been taken to the palace!

　He took out his gun and fired at the ceiling.

　Everyone goes quiet.

'Calm down, you idiots!　Do you really think the principality will recognize your reverence?　They are a principality. These are people who have a grudge against the kingdom. If you're not good, they may take your land and treat you as a slave.

　When we've all considered that possibility, I speak softly.

'Work with me. It's going to be okay. You guys can hide behind me. If you survive, I'll keep servicing you for a service price. And you're heroes, by the way. We make a lot of money firing cannons at the back of the train, and that's what makes you a hero.

　They're shooting me disappointed looks.

'Trust me. We're going to fight because we can win. Have I ever given you a bad fight before?　I'm the kind of guy who only puts up a fight I can win.

Well, I guess you could say that.
Sure, we've been through some tough times, but
If Leon says so, can we win?

　I was confident that with my usual good behavior, people would believe me.

　Daniel was in so much trouble.

"...you've always been a coward.

'Oh, is that a compliment?　Don't worry. Such cowards are your people. Doesn't that reassure you?

　Raymond ruffled his hair with his hands.

'It's the worst situation ever, having to go to war with a duchy thanks to those cowards!

　They've given up - or at least they've made up their minds.

　They said they would follow me.

　That's the power of our friendship!

'Thank you all!　We're going to be friends forever!

　They all stare at me, but I don't care. 'Screw you,' or 'You demon! or "That contract was a trap after all" and so on.

　Well, that level of grief is a small matter in front of the lassubstantial boss.

　--Now, let's move on.

◇

　It was in Libya's room that Luxion came in.

'Rion-san is fighting the Duchy's army?'

　Angier was taken aback by Libya's surprise.

''Even though he is a viscount, I've never heard of making a student commander-in-chief. Is His Majesty or His Highness Julius nominally going to be the commander-in-chief?''

　Shaking his one eye from side to side, Luxion denied it.

''It is believed that the Master is the Commander-in-Chief and the conversation will proceed. Currently, our strength is around twenty ships, including Partner. We don't know how many airships the Royal Army can provide. We don't expect the Temple side to have much strength.''

　Angier holds his head up.

'Are you going to challenge the duchy to that extent?　What about the generals?　What about the Lords' fleet?

''The kingdom's army depends on Milene's rooting. The lord nobles are busy with their own battlefields. There are several countries on the move at the same time, but the lords and nobles who can put up a fight have decided to be opportunistic.''

　Livia looked at Angier.

'Why?　Why won't you help me?

"...do you know why the lords follow the kingdom?

'Well it's because I'm loyal to you, isn't it?

It's not. It's national power. Because of the difference in military power, the lords around the kingdom follow. I'm sure you'll be able to find a new master if the kingdom loses. Besides, the kingdom has treated the lords coldly in the past.

What?

　Luxion thinks.

(I guess it is, after all. I thought it was funny. The Master stopped thinking about it because it was a maiden game, but that's not surprising.)

　The dukes are a family with strong ties to the royal family.

　The way of thinking is closer to the kingdom, and the way Angier thinks about the lords - it just tells you how the royal family sees the lords.

The lords have been prevented from gaining power. "The lords have been trying to keep their power out of it, and their warped marriages are part of it. This is going to happen sooner or later--

　After uttering that much, Angier shook his head.

　Then he stood up.

''I will head down to your father. I will have the duke's fleet in motion.

Are you sure?

　Angel laughed meaningfully.

'If Rion says he's going to do it, it's because he has a chance of winning, right?　....I believe that guy.

　Livia was a little depressed, but she got up and tried to follow Angier.

　Luxion was

"Then please hurry to the palace. The Duke is in the palace.

　Angel smiles.

'Thank God. We'll head out soon. Livia, what about you?

I'm coming with you!

　The two of them - Luxion was in a great hurry to get to the royal palace.

◇

　On the floating island near the King's Capital, the airships were coming and going more frequently than usual.

　There were so many people that it was hard to walk.

　The one waiting there was Nix - my brother.

"Leon, you're safe!

　Near the delighted Nix was his sister - Jenna.

'You escaped from prison?'

　Nearby is our resident servant, Mior, whose gaze swims over me.

''Just in time. You get in too. My father has come to pick us up.

　My second brother points to the airship my dad has been on.

'Best timing,'

　I go inside the airship and ask the sailors where my dad is.

'Where's my dad?'

'It's Funabashi. Boy, what did you do this time?

It wasn't me. It was my sister's cat-eared slave. Don't let her get on that thing!

　I can't leave the guy who betrayed me - I can't leave him by my sister's side.

　My second daughter was making some noise, but I ignored her and ran down the corridor of the ship.

　When I entered the bridge of the ship, my father was consulting with the captain.

'My lord, they're pushing in on us, wanting us to get ourselves on board too.

When we get the kids, load them up and leave!　You can't stay in a place like this forever. Hmm?　Leon!

　I thought my dad noticed me and was happy to see me, but his expression quickly turned stern.

'You, what have you done now!　I hear you've been thrown in jail!

I'm sorry, Dad but I need your help.

What?　What the hell are you--

　Anyway, I explained the situation. I told him why I was caught, and really a lot of things - I told him what that bastard Mioru had done.

　Then my father's face gradually turns pale.......and I feel a little sorry for him.

''........you're still an idiot.''

I'm out, but I need my dad's help, too.

'In a situation where you're allowed to run away, why wouldn't you? Really, you're a stupid son.

　The airship I gave to my father - the warship is bigger and better performing than the others.

　They must have trained the crew. My dad needs help.

　As Dad was troubled, his second brother and second daughter entered the bridge of the ship. Behind them, I can see Mirou's figure as well.

　My second brother hurriedly reported to me.

'Dad, Zola and the others wanted us to get on the boat. I don't know what it is, but they brought a bunch of people with them.

　My dad lets out a small sigh and leaves the boat bridge to go straight outside.

　However, he grabs Mi'oru's head with one hand and drags it along with him.

''Well, wait!　Why did you do that to Mior?　Let me go!

　The second daughter protests to her father, and Mi-rule also resists, but her father grabs her with one arm and won't let go.

'Please let go. I didn't do anything!

Shut up, you traitor!　You're in my face, you lick it!

　My dad glared at his second daughter and for the first time he was angry. He was really angry.

'Don't let this piece of rubbish who betrayed Rion get on my ship!　Nicks, you're staying in the bridge. Jenna, you're going to stay in the private room and be quiet. Somebody, get him out of here as fast as you can!

　As the sailors took my second daughter away, my father and I made our way to the airship's doorway.

　There was a crowd of aristocratic-looking women and slaves - those close to Zola - crowding in.

　Zola was shouting at my dad.

''Barkas!　Get us on board now!　Then go down to King's Landing and collect all of the mansion's property as well. Good!

　In the crowded and noisy harbor, my father pushed Miolu away.

'Well, wait!　My story--

Shut up.

　Then he drew the sword from his waist and dropped Mior's head with a single swing, and his body kicked away. From the harbor in the sky, Mior's head and body fall separately.

　My father glares at his eldest brother who hid behind Zola - the trembling Rutoart.

'We're about to go to war. Rutoart, you ride. Experience your first battle.

No, no!　Don't tell me what to do!　A barbarian of a country lord!

　As I was silent, Zola and the others were slowly recovering from the events of earlier.

'Balcus, who on earth are they giving orders to?　Who do you think it is that has allowed us to live in peace--

Give me Lutteart. We're at war now.

　Zola shouted in front of her father, who was in a different mood than usual.

''Don't push your luck!　Luttoart is the son of the man I love!　There's no blood in your veins. If you want a war, let the bastards over there have it!

　I heard he got confused and blurted out his true feelings but what a terrible story.

　But my dad scratches his hair.

'I thought so. But it's refreshing. Zola, this is where we say goodbye.

　Zola suddenly starts to panic.

'Well, wait. That's not what I was talking about. Um, look!　If you really want an heir, why don't you have a child from now on? Anyway, get us out of here.

I'm sorry. I'm busy.

　My father gives the signal and the knights in armor come down from the deck.

'Zola and the others are on their way back. Let those who want to take shelter get on first. And then Rion!

Yes!

　My father, who has been so pathetic in the past, is looking good today.

"Well I'll be back as soon as I drop everyone off. And you know what ... are you ready for that?

　I saw the worried look on my dad's face and I knew he was the same dad I always had.

　That made me oddly happy I gave a small nod.

'Right. I'll take care of the rest over here. You do what you want to do. You don't listen to me, even when I tell you. You never cease to amaze me.

　...I will, Dad.

　I'm really sorry for all the trouble I've caused you.

　

◇

　When I returned to the royal palace from the harbor, I received a report from Mr. Bernard - Clarice Papa, who rushed up to me.

''Viscount, the Royal Army is not gathering well. The ground forces have not gathered as much as they would like. We've only managed to gather about fifty airships.

　I was rather surprised that they were able to get fifty ships together.

''This is twenty-four ships along with Paltner.'' --Oops.

　The shaking is getting worse and worse.

　Mr. Bernard also looks very pale.

'Viscount, let's get straight to the point. Can you win?　Depending on your response, we'd like to evacuate your family.

...we can beat the Principality's army. The only problem is that big one.

　The way to annihilate the superlarge - it takes the power of a saint and the power of Libya herself.

　A voice that reaches the heart.

　Libya has the power to reach people's hearts.

　Why?　I don't know. It's just the way it's set up.

　Anyway, we're going to need that power.

　We can't have the power of a saint on our own.

"The viscount is really quite impressive. What do you think?　When you're done with this, can I have Clarice?

　I tried to laugh at Mr. Bernard's joke, but his eyes were serious.

　A strange sweat broke out.

''Well let's think about that after we win. Right now, you see, I've got a lot on my plate.

Yeah. Now, please get ready over here. We will soon be ready for the audience chamber. In the meantime, take a break.

　We were led to an antechamber near the audience room.

　In that ante-room were Marie and the others.

◇

　Marie sat down with her knees and was badly soiled.

　Her dress, which was supposedly white, was dirty and she did not raise her face, which was buried in her lap.

　The group of five, including His Highness Julius, were in trouble.

　Cara, who was dressed in the same raggedy outfit, was watching over Marie in the corner of the room.

　I approach Kyle and he speaks to me with a dumbfounded look on his face.

'Aren't you cursed?'

It's not me. It's your master who is cursed. What's more, what happened?

　Kyle told me with a tired look on his face how it all came about (how it happened).

When the master declared that he wasn't a saint, the people who had been cronies to him started hurling abuse at him. The priests and knights in the temple shouted at me, and I was captured and sent to the dungeon. I don't know what happened, but I was called out of the blue and now I'm here.

What's that?　It's kind of funny.

It's not funny for us at all, though. And he hasn't stopped laughing since then. ........Master, are you going to be executed like this?

　He is a diabolical person who tricked the saints. Naturally, the Temple would not allow it.

　How could Lady Milene also pull this guy out of the temple?

''It's just that the royal palace has temporarily postponed the execution. Win or lose, you won't get a life.

　At my words, His Highness Julius glares at me.

　I immediately call out to Marie.

'Marie, don't worry. We've got your back.

　But Marie--

-- May.

What?

I said May!　What is wrong with you guys? !　What can you do about it?　You haven't seen that monster and you think you can win?　They really are a congratulatory bunch.

Marie?

　--He's shown his true colors.

Get out!　Everybody out!　I--I hate all of you!

　Kara runs up to Marie.

'Oh no. Lady Marie says she's friends with me.

Of course it's a lie. Are you an idiot?　That's why you are so isolated and bullied because you don't think like that. I used you because I thought it would be profitable for the mobsters there to torment you a little bit. You ... are not my friend.

　Kara starts to cry.

　I cluck my tongue.

It's in your nature. You used to be good at playing the cat. It's coming off today.

　Chris put his hand on the hilt of his sword as Marie glared at me.

'Baldfalt, stop already!'

　But it was Marie who started to humiliate Chris.

'What?　You have to stop this. You're pretty high and mighty for a guy who only knows how to use a sword.

What?

　He was looking at Greg this time.

You're just saying that. You don't have to be a fighter. You're really not helping," he said. Purple, you're so narcissistic and weird. You're so creepy when you're green because you don't know what you're thinking. And you. And you. The main problem is you, the former crown prince!

Marie?　What the hell is wrong with you?

　Marier says to His Highness Julius with a laugh.

'A prince is someone whose only usefulness is his title. You really are fools. You threw away your position, your honor - your possessions, and you thought a woman would be happy?　I really don't know what that means.

　The giggling Marie turned to look at Kyle as well.

'So is that little nagging kid over there. You're in a good mood, you're high and mighty. If I hadn't forgiven you, you would have been sent back to the slave trade. You should be grateful!

　I think everyone in the room was donkeyed.

　I shake my head.

'It's unseemly.'

May. Go away!　You're the reason I'm not happy!　Give it back. Give it back!　...Give me back my happiness!

　Marie had just started to cry when Angier and Livia came into the room.

'Rion!　He's safe.....what's going on?

'Miss Marie, why are you crying?'

　I ruffled my hair and let the quiet faces out, except for Marie.

'Leave us alone for a minute. I need to talk to this guy.

　Marie was gradually becoming quieter and quieter, and then she passed out as she fell over. She was asleep, as if she was very tired.

　

◇

　--Marie was dreaming.

　Even that day, she was crying because her brother had abandoned her.

　A memory of a previous life.

　The memory of the time I sat down, scraping my knees and crying myself to sleep.

(I know, I'm an idiot too. I should have just gone home, but I was stubborn. (Come to think of it, how did I get home from here?)

　As I'm looking at the bong, a boy comes up to me.

　He's complaining about whispering.

'You idiot. I should have walked instead of getting tired of crying.'

　My brother was back, carrying the young Marie from his previous life on his back.

(Oh, I see. My brother carried me on his back after all. (Then you should carry it on your back from the beginning, you rubbish brother)

　Marie wanted to complain, but the tears flowed.

　She was asleep, relieved to be on her back.

　She drooled and her brother's clothes were stained.

　I thought he was going to complain anyway.

"...why do you think you can't rely on me?

　Seeing her brother's slightly happy face, Marie clasped her hands to her chest.

　That's right. Her brother - he had a bad mouth, but he was kind, Marie reminded herself.

(d*mn brother ... why did he die?)

　What I remember is the day my brother died.

(As usual, complain about it.)

　When she returned from her trip, Marie was slapped by her parents.

　They kicked her out of the house when the funeral was over.

(I could have gotten away with it if I'd always had a shitty brother. I was unhappy because my friggin' brother wasn't there. Why did you die my brother?)

　We complained about each other, but we thought we were doing well.

　Most things were done, even if he didn't want to leave it to his brother. He solved the problem.

　That's why Marie had been so lenient with her brother. He pushed the game on her because he was spoiled.

　But when her brother, whom she had relied on, died, everything started to go wrong.

　Marie - she hadn't really hated her brother in her previous life.

　He complained about him, but he still didn't hate him.

　She couldn't remember the look on her brother's face that she could rely on.

(Help me. Why won't you help me...)

　I couldn't remember the face of my brother, who was always complaining and helping me - a kind brother.

◇


Big brother.

　As I sit in my chair, looking at Marie's sleeping face, I am reminded of my sister from my abominable past life.

　She too was a nuisance to those around her, and I always followed up on that.

　I'm very busy following up with Marie until my second life.

''Master, are you sure you want me to let her sleep like this?''

　He drew all the bullets from the pistol and placed them on the table for threats.

'Let him sleep a little longer. There's still time for you to get some more.

'Aren't you going to wake him up and force him to do what you want him to do?

What do you think I am?　No, you don't have to say it. You're going to say it's diabolical or something anyway.

I'm sorry. You're an indecisive a**h*le. Nice try, sir.

　It's not even close. In fact, it's not even close to being grazed.

　To put it bluntly, the diabolical one is still better.

　As I stared at Luxion, Marie raised her upper body. Her eyes are red and swollen, and her hair is disheveled, making her look scary.

　I picked up the gun in my hand so that Marier could see it.

'You're up. Now it's time to negotiate.

I don't want to. I'm not doing anything until my brother is here.

　What is this guy?　Is it broken?　Who's your brother?

　He's a real mess.

'Your brother?　Get out of here, you piece of shit.

Don't mock my brother!

　Marie threw an object that was nearby at me, so I take Luxion in my hand and use it as a shield. 'Master I won't forget this,' she says in a voice full of resentment, so I ignore her.

'You really are rubbish. I was a fool to look at you and my sister like that. He's still better than that guy.

'May!　Your sister is a crazy, stupid woman anyway!

　She's a crazy, selfish, and, incidentally, stupid and annoying sister, but she doesn't deserve to be told that much by Marie!

'Don't be ridiculous!　I'm a hundred times better than you!　Sure, he's dumb, he has a terrible personality, and he's a rotten man, and he has a terrible personality, but he's better than you!

My brother is a hundred times better than you. No, he's a thousand times better than you!　He has a mobbed-up face, he doesn't stand out, he's not very noticeable, he's not very talkative, he's got a bad personality, he's not very talkative... Anyway, don't make fun of your brother!

　I'm getting angry.

　Why did I have to fight with this guy about this?

　We're arguing and I'm out of breath.

　I ask Marie.

'How did you become a saint? If you had completed that maiden's game, you would have known that you needed the power of Libya. And on top of that, are you stupid enough to take on a fight without a royal ship?

　Marie replies, breathing on her shoulder.

'I didn't know!　I ... my brother ... my brother cleared the game for me. He died shortly afterwards and I checked the save data I had when I got settled in!　I only knew about it from images and videos!

　This guy didn't even finish the game, and now he's using half-assed knowledge to create a reverse harem?

　.........Oh, what?　Wait a minute. Did you have your brother clear it for you?

''Well I was forced to play that damsel-in-distress game because my sister is going on a trip abroad and I have to complete the game while she's there?　Huh?　Could it be that you...eh?

　Marie was like, "What? He looked at my face.

　I also looked closely at Marie's face and saw that there was a strong trace of her previous life.

　This pissed off face is for sure!　Marie is my sister!

Onii-chan!　Onion-chan-- ouch!

　I smacked him with the grip of the pistol I held on Marie's head as he tried to jump at me.

'It's you!'

　I scream out, and there's a rattling sound on the other side of the door.

　But what I'm more concerned about is the woman in front of me - Marie.

'Isn't that awful for a sister I haven't seen in a while?'

I was determined to get my revenge on you if I ever saw you again, though.

'My brother says a lot of things to your mother, and that's what made the conversation so complicated!

It's all your fault!　Wait, wait!　What happened to my mom and dad?

　Luxion was watching us.

'This is the thing. I don't think the two of you are acting, and the idea of a previous life is becoming more and more true.'

　........This guy actually still suspects me?
